Trick Or Treat

Art nerds no longer have to walk around college towns on Halloween with
picture frames around their necks ("I'm post-modern you philistine").
Now they can emulate one Riitta Ikonen, a Finnish artist who is "concerned with the performance of images, through photography and costume design ... The super- garments I make open up new experiences. In my costumes tremendous things happen - to me and to the people I work
with. Today I exploded an egg in the microwave. Next, I want to make an
egg costume."
